As soon as i get a camera, there will be photos shortly.....a bit grey up here, although Granite never seems to age as much as Sandstone. i've checked out photos from 50 years ago, and they look the same as now

Here's a thing you could get a picture of: get a photo of the Merkland Road stand at Pittodrie from the outside. There's some nice granite work there, if I remember right.

It's been a wee while since I've been up to my home town, and I usually go into the Donald stand, but I remember the Merkland having a nice look to it.

Looking down High Street of Old Aberdeen

Lawn of King's College

Cheeky Traffic Warden

Viewing New King's(King's Chapel to the right. Too much restoration going on at the moment to get good pictures)

Looking up College bounds

Interesting Entrance which is now blocked. At further inspection, it looks hundreds of years old!

Typical Aberdeen Street, look at those Granite Houses

Looking down towards Pittodrie Stadium from the Spital

Any more?

by **mustardman** » Thu Dec 09, 2004 3:34 pm

Yeah, getting some more today while I go shopping. Post them tommorrow!!

Took me back 29 years. To when I was born.

I'm quite saddened that we never stayed in Aberdeen. I always feel slighlty nostalgic whenever I go back. Can you feel nostalgia for a place you don't actually remember from your childhood?

I really must take a trip up there soon.

Like aberdeen as a place but always felt that if the sun aint shining the houses look like they are made of breeze blocks. But when the sun does shine.....

Another wee update

Terrific pix. Only visited once and never saw much - not looking of course, must have been drinking.

A city with a history going back a long ways and it always impresses me when I see a Shore Porter's Society lorry with "Established 1498" painted on it. Is this the oldest commercial enterprise in Britain ?

in the world. allegedly. most likely there's older, like Ye Olde Silk Road Trading Co., Tehran, est. 753 AD.

Excellent pics mustardman, especially the first and third ones. BTW, Aberdeen is the only Scottish city I've never visited. :oops:

Good pics mustardman, the sixth pic has got a certain edge
to it, probably something to do with the leaden sky and the
usage of granite.
